An example composition includes a cloth, which has on each side thereof, a first waterproofing agent, a barrier which inhibits or prevents environmental degradation, and an elastomeric barrier including a second waterproofing agent. Another example composition includes a cloth with a phenolic resin coating having, on each side thereof, a first waterproofing agent, a barrier which inhibits or prevents environmental degradation, and an elastomeric barrier including a second waterproofing agent.

An elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove, including a polymeric, elastomeric, or latex layer and, optionally, a fabric liner, is disclosed. Methods for manufacturing an elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove substantially are also disclosed.

Cushioning elements include a breathable material configured to allow gases to pass through at least a portion thereof, and a plurality of discrete segments of thermoplastic elastomeric gel (gel) heat-fused or otherwise attached to the breathable material. The gel comprises an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer, with a plasticizer-to-polymer ratio of from about 0.3 to about 50. The plurality of discrete segments defines at least one breathable gap between adjacent discrete segments. Methods of forming cushioning elements include forming a plurality of discrete segments of gel, securing each segment to a breathable material, and providing a gas path through the breathable material and between adjacent segments. Another method includes providing molten gel within a mold, providing at least a second portion of the gel within a permeable material, and solidifying the gel to form discrete segments of gel.

Biomaterial-based elastomeric materials are disclosed, as are methods for making and using such fibrous materials. In some embodiments, a biomaterial textile composition includes a mixture of a thermoplastic elastomer and a second polymer. The biomaterial textile compositions of the disclosure are characterized by desirable combinations of material properties, e.g., elastic modulus and hardness, that make the materials especially suitable for various applications, particularly as leather analogs and similar textiles.

The present disclosure is to provide a water-based hot-melt adhesive for healthcare packaging. The water-based hot-melt adhesive includes: 10 wt % to 35 wt % of a water-based thermoplastic resin; 20 wt % to 45 wt % of wax particles and 40 wt % to 60 wt % of tackifier; wherein the tackifier including emulsion tackifier and particulate tackifier and the total amount of the particles in the water-based hot-melt adhesive is present at 40 wt % to 65 wt % based on the total weight of the water-based hot-melt adhesive. The coating layer formed on the healthcare packaging substrate from the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present disclosure has great gas-permeability, and satisfied seal strength and peeling ability after sealing around with flexible sheets or blister containers.

A coating fabric and method of manufacturing the same are provided. A coated fabric includes a base coating layer. The base coating layer defines a smooth coating to resist liquid penetration to the fabric. The coated fabric also includes a middle foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the base coating layer. The middle foam layer defines a middle layer foam density and is configured to absorb at least a portion of liquid. The coated fabric further includes an outer foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the middle foam coating later. The outer foam layer defines an outer layer foam density and is configured with holes to allow liquid to penetrate to the middle foam layer. The middle layer foam density is less than the outer layer foam density. A corresponding method of manufacturing is also provided.

A natural leather-like patterned artificial leather is provided which has a pattern with excellent wear resistance, while having an excellently delicate design, where the artificial leather is composed of: a fiber entangled body which comprises, as a constituent, a nonwoven fabric configured from ultrafine fibers that are formed from a thermoplastic resin, while having an average single fiber diameter of from 1 m to 10 m; and an elastomer. At least one surface of the artificial leather is a design surface having at least a piloerection part and a fused part, where the difference between the thickness of the piloerection part and the thickness of the fused part is from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm; and the formulae (1) to (3) described below are satisfied.

A method for generating a shingle roofing coating is described. The method includes mixing 1% by weight to 20% by weight of an elastomeric polymer with an asphalt flux to generate a concentrate. The concentrate is then heated and mixed with an oxidized asphalt feedstock. The mixture of the concentrate and oxidized asphalt is then heated to generate the shingle roofing coating. The shingle roofing coating includes between 10% by weight and 30% by weight of the concentrate and between 0.1% by weight and 6% by weight of the elastomeric polymer.
